The parallels between thugs, Trump and his buddy Jair Bolsonaro, are many.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/world/americas/...

-More than a year before Brazil’s election in 2022, Mr. Bolsonaro began sowing baseless doubts about the security of the nation’s voting machines, warning that he could only be defeated if they were rigged in his opponent’s favor.

-... the police are seeking criminal charges against Mr. Bolsonaro himself, along with three dozen of his allies, over a broad plot to stage a coup to keep him in power after he lost the 2022 presidential election to Mr. Lula."

-Mr. Bolsonaro and his supporters have been quick to downplay the severity of the situation, chalking it up to “leftist” political persecution by the judiciary.

-Mr. Bolsonaro, perhaps trying to follow Mr. Trump’s road map, seems to want to stage his own political comeback, signaling that he intends to run in Brazil’s next presidential election in 2026.

-a fifth of those surveyed said they would vote for Mr. Bolsonaro in the next presidential election even though

-Brazil’s top federal prosecutor must now decide whether to pursue the case. If he does, Mr. Bolsonaro could eventually end up in handcuffs.

-Even if Mr. Bolsonaro stands trial, it may not be enough to tarnish him in the eyes of his most fervent supporters, according to Mr. Kerche. “Bolsonaro could do whatever he wanted, and they would continue to support him.”
